The deeper you go in the jungle, the more branches and leaves there will be. Sometimes even the entire field of vision is completely blocked, only the road under the feet can be seen, and the smell of astringent soil can be smelled. As if walking in a primeval forest that had grown five times more densely, Jing Xia could barely keep her feet steady, and sometimes her movements were not as agile as Steward Wang's.
This is not determined by age, but that Jing Xia's current body really lacks exercise.
In his previous life, he followed Wu Jiqing's team to get some physical training, but after meeting Ji Chuancheng, he was still criticized as useless by the other party, so he had a week of special training.
It's a pity that that body has been lying on the cold and wet rocks of S City forever. Jing Xia thought about it, and even thought that it might be eaten by a passing mutant in the beast horde. Sighing softly, Jing Xia stopped thinking about these past events.
Right now, they need to find a way out, which is the most important thing.
It's not just a matter of finding the troops in the restricted area. They are now surrounded by more rapidly multiplying and denser plant branches and leaves, and their growth rate is almost visible to the naked eye.
"Try it with fire." Ji Chuancheng frowned at these crunching vine creatures for a long time, and then suggested.
Soon, each of the four held a stick in their hands. Probably due to changes in the global environment, it took only a few minutes for the thin wooden stick to be ignited by the lighter. Ji Chuancheng took the lead to walk to the vine bushes that were concave and protruding, and held up a torch without changing his face, and lit a little sprout that was growing.
This kind of creature was something Jing Xia had never seen before.
Before the start of the first beast horde war, Wu Jiqing's team had been wandering in city B, where there would never be these weird plants in the deep mountains and old forests. In other words, an inland city like City B is the most suitable base camp for humans to live in.
Because it is a city, even if the greening is done well, the variety and total amount of plants are still poor. Moreover, it is still deep inland, so there will be no attack of marine mutant creatures. Therefore, City B can be said to be a good human base.
City B will not have such strange mutated vines, and in the beast horde war, this kind of mutants that have no attack power or simply have difficulty moving will not participate in the war at all. So Jingxia has never seen this kind of mutant before. Compared with those mutant beasts that bite humans with tentacles and gnats, and mutant plants that enchant humans with floral fragrance and color, this guy is quite "gentle" "It's gone.
"The outer skin is very hard. It seems that the flame temperature below 300 degrees Celsius has no effect on this mutant." Qin Chu looked at the still green shoots under the orange flame, and sighed helplessly: "However, they don't seem to have grown any more. It has grown. That’s fine, if it continues to grow, it will really wrap us into a ball.”
Ji Chuancheng frowned, shook his head and said, "Its growth method is still normal." As soon as the words fell, a silver light flashed, and a small piece of vine that quickly shriveled appeared in Ji Chuancheng's hand. "The diameter of its duct is quite large, and the pith appears in the center. Probably the temperature has a certain impact on its nutrient transmission, such as..."
As he said that, Ji Chuancheng stretched out the torch again to shine on the incision of the plant he just cut off. This time, he did not directly heat it with flames, but at a distance of about ten centimeters, Ji Chuancheng stopped his movements, and then lowered his eyes to seriously watch the changes in the vines with thick wrists.
Jing Xia exclaimed, "The red thing in the center is shrinking."
Qin Chu suddenly realized: "Then... we don't need to roast them at all, we just need to increase the temperature, and their mutated pith will shrink by itself, and then... slow down the growth rate!" Too many to dare to use the torch, and now, Qin Chu simply put the flashlight back in his backpack, and started walking around with the torch.
Probably because of the excitement of "playing", facing these harmless "little" guys, Qin Chu walked in the forefront alone, opening the way. Unknowingly, Jing Xia and Ji Chuancheng were at the back. Ji Chuancheng walked a little faster, but also deliberately slowed down, keeping a proper distance from the young man behind him, as if He knew that this young man with his head bowed and silent should have something to say to himself.
After a long time, when the bright and bright moonlight was projected on the earth through the thin clouds, Jingxia sighed heavily and said, "Achuan, tell me... Grandpa Wang has already begun to evolve... "I couldn't say that word, Jing Xia gritted her teeth and stopped saying it.
Hearing what he expected, Ji Chuancheng raised his eyes and looked far away at the old man at the end of the road. His hair is already gray, but his back is still straight. Even after walking so many mountain roads, he still hasn't shown any signs of fatigue. Such a body is probably much stronger than this idiot who only knows how to have fun and enjoy himself all day long. but…
"En." Ji Chuancheng responded in a low voice, which was considered a response.
Jing Xia was taken aback, and asked subconsciously: "You mean... you also think that the sign of evolution failure has begun?"
Because the branches and leaves are too dense, the cool moonlight is always blocked. At this moment, the light of the torch seemed much brighter, illuminating the path under his feet.
Ji Chuancheng nodded lightly: "Well. According to the calculation of time, there must have been sick and dead people at this time. Then... the evolutionary ones should also appear soon."
Upon hearing this, Jing Xia immediately understood what the other party meant. But he was still stubbornly unwilling to accept this fact in his heart, so he could only comfort himself and said: "Maybe this time, Sister Qin will be the first to evolve the supernatural power successfully. Her supernatural power is healing type, maybe it can save people's lives." With Grandpa Wang, maybe it will be okay..." He said "maybe" three times in a row, and at the end, even Jing Xia felt that he couldn't deceive himself any longer.
Because when Jing Xia and Qin Chu met, the latter already possessed supernatural powers, so Jing Xia didn't know the exact time when the other party awakened their supernatural powers. Qin Chu's supernatural ability is very heaven-defying. According to Lin Shen's previous speculation, it is impossible for such a powerful supernatural ability to evolve successfully very early. At least... not as early as this time.
With only the lighting of torches, the entire mountain road was rugged and narrow. Jing Xia and Ji Chuan walked forward almost side by side. Calmly lowering his eyes, Ji Chuancheng looked at Jing Xia with his head lowered, showing a sad expression. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and Ji Chuancheng said, "Don't be sad, after Steward Wang passes away, he will become a star hanging in the sky, watching you forever."
"..."
The originally sad and heavy atmosphere disappeared without a trace in an instant. Under this kind of funny and sad mood, Jing Xia really couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know what to say. He raised the torch, illuminated the man's handsome face, and said, "A Chuan, when will you say this... about becoming a star? How old are you, do you believe such nonsense?"
His cold black eyes glanced at Jing Xia coldly, and Ji Chuan remained expressionless: "It was a four-year-old boy who told me that when I was nine years old."
"Pfft, you are too naive! Ah Chuan, don't talk about such nonsense when you are nine years old. I used it as a joke when I was four years old, and told the class next door to the kindergarten every day, okay?"
"..."
"Eh? Why does it seem to be a little colder all of a sudden? Has it cooled down?" Jing Xia couldn't help shivering, and rubbed her arms together to keep warm. Seeing the timid look of this young man, Ji Chuancheng finally sighed helplessly, and then stretched out his left hand to wrap around Jing Xia's shoulder.
Jing Xia was taken aback: "Huh?!!!!"
Ji Chuan took it for granted: "To keep warm."
"..."
Although some don't understand how just one arm can keep warm, but when Jing Xia really got close to this man's chest... the heating effect is really good. The wide and warm chest seemed to be a natural radiator, and the hot temperature was transmitted to Jing Xia's body through the two thin layers of fabric. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he did feel much warmer.
"People are doomed to birth, old age, sickness and death. Sometimes death is not an end, but a new beginning. Everyone's life is always short and meaningless in the historical stage of the entire earth, but this is not It means giving up."
The deep and magnetic voice has a feeling of emptiness on the quiet and peaceful mountain trail. Jing Xia never expected that the other party would suddenly speak, suddenly say... these words. He raised his head in a daze, looking at those eyes that were so cold that they seemed to have no emotion, it seemed that something was changing.
"Decades of time can end in the blink of an eye, but the longer you live, the happier you will be. People's desires are always endless, but when a person is really able to face death, he will know that he is What is the thing you desire most in life. If you leave with a smile on your face, then... he has already obtained the greatest harvest in this life. He wants to thank you for giving him a perfect ending so that he can die happily. "
The steps under her feet faltered, Jing Xia lowered her head and thought for a while, and then slowly raised her head to look at Ji Chuancheng.
The stern and tall man also stopped at this moment, and turned to look at Jing Xia. I don't know when, the cold moonlight finally shone on the earth through layers of clouds and mist, and that layer of faint silver light shone from behind, reflecting on Ji Chuancheng's whole body, making him look a little more indifferent .
However, Jing Xia always remembered the temperature on her shoulder just now.
There was a sudden shock in his heart, and Jing Xia suddenly laughed lowly, and asked, "A Chuan, what you said just now didn't seem like you were feeling it, but it seemed like you had prepared it for a long time. Why, who do you want to tell it to?" of?"
The focused and earnest gaze has been fixed on the smiling young man. In Ji Chuancheng's eyes, it is precisely the moonlight that shines directly at him, making the young man's smile even more ethereal and illusory. Tightening his fingers slightly, Ji Chuan said indifferently, "A ten-year-old boy wanted to tell another five-year-old boy." His fingers pinched into his palm, but he remained calm and composed on the surface. appearance.
Hearing an unexpected answer suddenly, Jing Xia raised her eyes and thought for a while but didn't get the answer. He simply stopped thinking about it, and said with a big smile, "Okay, okay, then I won't ask. You see how far behind we are, sister Qin should be scolded."
As soon as the words fell, the two continued to walk forward, at the same pace, as if nothing happened just now. The mountains and haze are still cold, even in summer, people feel a little cold, Jing Xia simply hugged Ji Chuancheng's waist shamelessly and did not let go.
After finding Qin Chu, the latter saw Jing Xia's koala appearance and became furious: "Little bastard!!! Let go of the young master!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Xia tightly hugged Ji Chuancheng's waist and did not let go. With the help of Ji Chuancheng's body, he blocked from left to right, and in the end it was Ji Chuancheng who had the most right to speak, and the farce ended.
It was nightfall again, and Jing Xia, Ji Chuancheng, and Qin Chu took turns to watch the night.
